Published by nora | Filed under Buyer / Seller Tips, Economy, Miscellaneous, Real Estate

As employment income is usually the source of money to pay home mortgage loans, it can be said that the 30 highest paying jobs in Tampa can significantly impact the Tampa Bay real estate market. If these thousands of highly-paid professionals or employees buy their first homes, sell their homes and buy a better one, or invest in one or more homes, then they help energize the real estate sector.

If the self-employed individuals are considered, then the real estate market impact would even be greater. This survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) does not include the self-employed.

Here are the highest paying jobs in Tampa (jobs with at least 1,000 employees), based on the May 2011 occupational and wage estimates of the BLS for the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater metropolitan area.
